Exciting stores in NYC

With my new emphasis on thinking about my future biz, I've been making some new connections in NYC.

1st stop - Found a store that gives upholstery lessons  and put my name on the waiting list....though it sounds like it might be a long time coming before they give another class. The star of the show is off shooting a segment for a tv show? That should be interesting.

2nd stop - A friend at work took me to her favorite button and trimmings store on 6th and 37th - and I spent a good deal of time mesmerized by all the beautiful trims and braids and bead work and lace and fringe, and anything else you could possibly want to embellish something. I am going to have fun in that store when I figure out what I want to do with all of the possibility that resides there.

3rd stop - Sitting on the subway on my way to work I envision beautiful completed works of art - that is exciting.

Frisky Furnishings Under Construction

Here I am in my Bronx apartment counting down the months until I enter into the next stage of my life, embarking on a big creative journey - taking a risk on myself and my ART! I'm ready to change my life in more ways than one!!

It is both exciting and scary but I am feeling ready. Much to do before then and I plan to spend a lot of time in preparation. This weekend I had several great thrift store finds laid out on my little tiny kitchen table getting primed for the paint. Funny how one can work in such a small space when you are determined.

I've already set up a painting room at my Huntington house and have finished two pieces (pics to be included soon) and the next step is to set up a painting space at my boyfriend's house. YES - painting everywhere I go.

I can just see it now - outfitting the back of my Yaris for painting too - hah, how funny would that be?
